HedgeDoc

Collaborative markdown editor where ideas grow together

About HedgeDoc

HedgeDoc is a web-based markdown editor built for real-time collaboration on notes, documentation and presentations. Anyone with the note link can join and edit together, with revision history, a permission system and support for graphs, diagrams and slide decks powered by reveal.js. The open-source software is self-hosted, runs comfortably even on modest hardware such as a Raspberry Pi, and keeps data under the operator's control.
